Do you know how long it takes for a body to start decomposing? Just 24 hours. Within a single day, cells and internal organs will begin breaking down and fluids will start leaking from the body. If a body has been left for a considerable period of time, the mess left behind could be quite substantial.

 

This is true for humans, pets, vermin or anything else. Decomposition cleanup often involves getting messy before getting clean. However, Steri-Clean has provided decomposition cleanup services countless times across Georgia. Our professionals have honed their craft over decades and are ready to get to work.

 

Speed is of the essence. The longer you wait, the more difficult the cleanup process will be. You can contact Steri-Clean 24 hours a day, any day of the year. We’re ready to get to work. Let’s take a look at how we approach decomposition cleaning.

 

First, Conduct an Assessment

 

We start every cleaning project, including decomposition, with an assessment. We need to have a good grasp with what we’re dealing with. We’ve seen just about everything over the years and yet we also respect that no two messes are the same. This means no two cleanups are the same.

 

We will need to identify:

• biohazards

• leaked fluids

• odors to be neutralized

• contaminated surface areas

 

The above list is far from exhaustive. As we conduct our assessment, we will try to identify any complications and potential solutions. When possible, we’ll devise preemptive solutions.

 

We also need to know what tools we’ll need to get the job done. For example, we might need a saw so that we can take a piece of furniture apart.

 

Biohazard Remediation

 

During the assessment, we will identify potential biohazards, such as leaked fluids and blood. These hazards must be quarantined to ensure that they don’t spread any further. Then, they must be removed and the affected surfaces need to be sterilized. After that, we’ll clean the area and then conduct another assessment to ensure that any threats have been neutralized.

 

Removing Affected Furniture

 

Many people pass away in their beds. Sometimes, pets and vermin will die on furniture as well. If blood or other fluids have leaked into a mattress or similar surface, we will have to cut away the contaminated area. The fabric will then be placed in biohazard containers and disposed of at a licensed facility. Unaffected furniture can be disposed of at a normal landfill.

 

Carpeting, padding, and even parts of walls must also be removed. This is done to ensure that no biohazards will pose a threat to current or future residents and guests. This process can be intensive but it is necessary for ensuring safety.

 

Grieving Families Shouldn’t Have to Worry About Cleanup

 

If you have lost a loved one, pet has passed away, you will be grieving. We understand that you
will be experiencing a lot of emotions and that you need someone to share the burden with.
Steri-Clean’s experts can take care of the decomposition cleanup so you can focus on healing.
